    <h2>SoftwareSerial</h2>
    <p>The Wiring SoftwareSerial library allows for easily reading and writing data 
    to and from external machines through software serial ports. It allows two machines to communicate. <strong>Note:</strong> the SoftwareSerial class doesn&acute;t have the <strong>available()</strong> method.</p>
    
    <p>The serial port is a nine pin I/O port that exists on most PCs and can 
      be emulated through USB on Macintosh and PCs with USB Serial 
      adapters.</p>

Wiring SoftwareSerial class (datatype).</span></p>
	
	<p><span class="blink"><a href="SoftwareSerial_begin_.html">begin()</a><br />
	  Opens the serial port for reading and writing.</span></p>
	<p><a href="SoftwareSerial_print_.html">print()</a> <br />
	  Writes dat (int, float, byte, char, char[], numbers in base (DEC, BIN, OCT or HEX) or Strings to the serial port.</p>
	<p><a href="SoftwareSerial_println_.html">println()</a> <br />
	  It works as the print method but prints a new line character at the end of each call. </p>
	<p><a href="SoftwareSerial_read_.html">read()</a><br />
	  Returns a number between 0 and 255 for the next byte that's waiting in the buffer. Returns -1 if there is no byte.</p>
      <p><a href="SoftwareSerial_flush_.html">flush()</a><br />
  Flushes the serial port buffer. Further calls to <strong>read()</strong> and <strong>available()</strong> will return data received after the <strong>flush()</strong> command was issued.<br />
